Synopsis

For the duration of a summer afternoon, Abby seeks to bring together two parts of herself—two worlds that have never met and are about to collide in a surreal urban western.

Director's Statement

I wanted to create a small urban tale inspired by a true story. It¡¯s the story of a quest for self-determination—Tania¡¯s story—who wants to share her passion for horses in her neighborhood, in her world. Seeing no incompatibility in this unlikely encounter, the young woman embarks on a surprising odyssey. In doing so, the film subtly reflects on the social determinism that Tania tries to defy on the back of Fantas.
